Alexandra occupies the top floor of a large house just a few metres from the harbourfront and only a couple of minutes' walk from the village shops and the pleasant bars and tavernas that line the shore.
The view is enchanting - down across the harbour activity to the headlands that enclose this lovely bay, between the gap and over the sea to hazy Albania.
Layout
Alexandra has plenty of space, comfortable furnishings, and is well designed to provide relaxed living for families or couples. A set of steps, at one side of the building, leads into Alexandra. As you enter the house you are struck by the coolness and by the breathtaking views. The spacious lounge opens on to the terrace that wraps the house on three sides, getting the benefit of the sun all day long.
Living Area
In the spacious lounge area, you will find plenty of relaxed seating, TV, more reading books than you could possibly get through in one holiday, and of course the fabulous views through the large French doors that open on to the front sea-facing balcony
Kitchen
A combined kitchen and dining room makes meal times easy, and French doors lead onto the front balcony. The Kitchen is fully equipped with full oven, fridge-freezer, microwave, dishwasher, iron and board.
Bedrooms
Master Bedroom
The main double bedroom has French doors opening onto the front sea-facing balcony, air conditioning and plenty of storage space in the wardrobes provided.
Bedroom 2
The summery colour scheme of blue and ivory is continued in the twin bedroom, which also has French doors opening onto a sunny side balcony.
Bedroom 3
The third bedroom, another twin, again decorated in fresh, pretty colours, is situated at the other side of the house. It has its own private balcony accessed by French doors.
Bathrooms
A separate bathroom with shower fitment over a full-sized bath and wc is located just off the main lounge area.
Also next to the third bedroom is a shower room with corner shower tray and wc.
The large balcony offers breathtaking views of the sea and the pretty harbour and village. Sunbeds are provided to complete the perfect setting!
Rear Terrace
The rear terrace is part shaded by vines and features a large stone table and chairs.
A stone built barbecue, table and chairs have considerably enhanced the possibilities for eating outside at Alexandra and watching the world pass by at a slow Corfiot pace. This is perfect relaxation, absorbing the superb views of the Albanian mountains opposite, and watching the ferries in the distance as they pass by, quite a sight at night especially.

Saint Stephanos
Saint Stephanos: The island of Corfu has its secrets and Saint Stephanos, set around a horse-shoe shaped bay, is certainly one of them. An extremely pretty fishing village, located between Kalami and Kassiopi, that has managed to retain its traditional look and laidback feel . There is a small local Greek community that welcomes its visitors with the warmth and hospitality for which Greece is famous. The excellent setting, waterfront Tavernas and bars, along with a scattering of mini-markets, shops and boat hire create a delightful Greek island holiday destination.

Kassiopi is charming fishing village, with a traditional port. Down at the harbour you can find local fishermen bringing home the morning catch. in Kassiopi you will also find a selection of Tavernas, bars, shops and several beaches. In fact, there is something for everyone. The teens in your party will especially appreciate the evening nightlife - with
several music bars and 'low key' clubs, it is a safe environment for them to meet friends.
Kerasia
Kerasia is a long sweeping beach and one of the most beautiful on the island, with excellent swimming and snorkelling. Kerasia is for those looking for complete peace and quiet, to laze in the sun or enjoy a quiet read, with an excellent beach Taverna and a small shop to cater for your beach needs.
Avlaki
Avlaki Beach is a beautiful sweeping bay with a gently sloping beach and fabulously clear turquoise waters . No wonder Avlaki is a favourite for the locals! The beach is fringed by just a few villas, two tavernas serving local food, and a small sailing school offering dinghy sailing and sail-boarding. Avlaki really is a Greek Island heaven.
Agni Bay
Agni Bay: In Greek Agni means un-spoilt and this describes Agni perfectly - just
three Tavernas (each with their own jetty for mooring up to) and a sprinkle of local buildings. The bay is reached mainly by rented motor boats, although recently
there is now a narrow road down into the bay. Each evening we offer a 'Speed Boat' taxi service, from surrounding bays to Taverna Agni. The above video shows the exciting experience.
